I can say it really fast, can you? I can also make pickled peppers. This comes in handy since I don’t personally know Peter Piper. These are fast, easy and delicious. And they last for YEARS. I opened my last jar from 2012 just last week and used them on a pizza, still yummy! So if your peppers are growing like crazy and running out your ears, pickle those babies!

I weighed my peppers first, there were 1.5 pounds total.

Then I sliced them.

Then I stuffed them into Mason jars, pack them pretty tight!

All that’s left to do is boil vineger, sugar and spices together……

I added mustard seeds, dill seeds and I wanted to add celery seeds but I didn’t have any so I dashed a little celery salt in.

Most of the jars were straight sweet banana pepper but I threw some jalapenos in the last jar, just for fun! And heat.

Pour the boiling vinegar mixture over the peppers, leaving just a little room at the top. Seal them up and let them sit for 2 weeks and they are ready to eat! You can process them in a water bath if you want. I didn’t and they sealed fine on their own. Just be sure and check to make sure they are sealed before putting them away.

Fab idea! I am a HUGE fan of heat – hot anything! I need to find someplace to source cheap veggies though. They’re pretty pricey over here, and I did not get any peppers planted this year. I’ll keep you posted!
